Spring cruise this year going to be fun with Beater-x making close to the numbers of your old setup.

Prolly around 375-385whp/340-345wtq @ 22-23psi tapering to 21-ish@8000. Once it warmed up last week I logged the car on the street for some 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear pulls and even in only 3rd gear it was peaking 26psi and tapering to 24, too high! Also pegging 5v on the MAF. So I turned the MBC down another 1.5 turns and I'll log it more. Basically the tune is totally safe as long and the car won't see long/hard pulls over 7000. At least until I've logged and confirmed safety (i.e. boost is not through the roof).
This weekend I was finishing up some things and look what I found! The trans plug that I 'lost' during reassembly and ended up ordering a new one from Mitsu:
LOL damn that little thing! Oh well. Also I swapped my 'fixed' CAS back in (I straightened out the bent pin) and it works great! Thanks again to Murlo for letting me gank his in the middle of the night, freaking lifesaver! I'm just so pumped that mine works and I don't have to buy a new one. Got the heat shield back over it and double checked all of the nuts/bolts on the manifold.
Then I checked the oil (all good!) and yanked the valvecover one more time. Valve #3 on the intake side is still a bit wide, .012" gap (spec is .008+/-.001) but the good thing is that it has not changed in the 700 miles since I last checked it. There is a *little* bit of valvetrain noise when the car is cold but that is about it. Obviously this isn't affecting performance. It takes about 20 minutes to get everythign off, check it, and button it back up so I'll probably continue to check this. I had thought about swapping in some S2's and fixing this issue this summer but as of now I am *so* happy with the Kelford 214-B's that it may just stay this way indefinitely.
Last but not least, big day! I put the strut tower bar back on, as well as the engine cover. She's officially all buttoned up
